Conversations with my chakras : Muladhara

A quickie art journal page to explore some conversations I’ve been having with my chakras.

Exploring the symbolism

The Muladhara is the base, or root chakra, located at the base of the spine.

I investigated some of the common symbolism of this chakra and my interpretation included the following;

elephant to represent the physicality of matter

the eight arrows, the many directions of life

the central yellow square represents earth

the four petals, the four corners of the world

the downward triangle stands for higher power

the two circles are for the Hindu deities Brahma and Dakini.

Invitation to explore

If you were to have a conversation with your chakras, what information might they share with you? What symbolism resonates with you? Is your response a written one, or can you represent it in your art? Is it enough to simply send out the invitation? (top tip: there are no wrong answers, just follow your intuition!)
